Immunology by Richard Coico, Geoffrey Sunshine-Immunology ( A Short Course-Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
the seventh edition of Immunology: A Short Course is intended to provide the reader with a clear and concise overview of our current understanding of the physiology of the immune system as well as the pathophysiology associated with various immune-mediated diseases. Although our knowledge of how the immune system develops and functions and the ways in which these physiological phenomena can fail or be compromised and thereby cause disease has significantly expanded since the previous edition, we have preserved our commitment to the motto less is more, the guiding light of this series. We are still committed to teaching our students and presenting to our readers only the information that we consider absolutely essential. To reflect this new knowledge, we have updated and rewritten every chapter in the sixth edition to incorporate new findings or to remove information that no longer reflects current thinking. We have also provided new multiple choice questions and answers at the end of each chapter so that the reader can evaluate his or her understanding. We have also made one other pivotal change as compared with earlier editions: At its most basic level, and since the first edition of the book, we have introduced the subject of immune response by highlighting the fact that it can be split into two arms: the innate response and the adaptive immune response.
